You're right Breyten, as an example a BF Goodrich T/A KO LT 265 70 R16 from the US is average US$260....current exchange rate = AU$342.21 same tyre in Aus is around $429 only an $87 difference most of which would probably go in freight to here, so wouldn't really be worth it until the exchange rate climbs up to high 90's
