Disclaimer: I'm neither a tigerologist or a wolfonomer, and I'm generally basing this on guesswork.
For starters tigers are huge. But wolves are pretty huge too, larger than most people think. I believe they are only slightly smaller than Tigers (at least the tigers I saw as a kid in a Danish zoo).
And I imagine a tiger would have a hard time defending against multiple simultaneous attackers, something I believe wolves like to do, being pack animals.
So my guess is 2 wolves could take down a tiger. Maybe 3.
Source: I'm talking about stuff I know little to nothing about. Do not place any bets based on this.
Swede here, I have been inside the wolf pen and petted wolves at Kolmården, before the accident where a wolf pack killed and ate a handler....
Anyway, they are indeed very large, and they have a very coordinated pack, so yeah, two or three could probably do it.
