I only saw all the corpses inside those seemingly intact vehicles, didn't even notice the tires.

The corpses could in principle have been placed there after the strike, or could have been killed by machine gun fire to the back of the truck. To me, what makes HIMARS the likely culprit here is the tires.

Probably, I agree with your reasoning. I was just dumbfounded by the massacre and my first thought was that they had been collecting corpses in the trucks, but after a few trucks like that, that made no sense anymore. Then you provided the probable answer in the comments.
