(I mean standard SRTM tiles, not precut WMS tiles)

actually it's the AVHRR page, not MODIS:

for already downloaded tiles you'd have to follow the rest of the
r.in.gdalwarp and r.in.wms script by hand. It's probably easier/faster
to try the {r.in.srtm or r.in.gdal}  + g.region rast=1,2,3,4 + r.patch
in=1,2,3,4 method.
