How many wolves could kill a tiger?
Individually? None.
Well, also 1 wolf could be enough to kill a tiger, depending on the circumstances, adult wolf, baby tiger? Tiger is comatose?
I only ever see them in the same place at furry conventions, but that never seems to be what they're interested in doing
UwU this poor wittle tigey-wigey is surrounded by big bad wolfies. I wonder if it's enough to bring me the little death that I swell and ache for...
It's important to remember wolves are pack animals so they would coordinate. Depending on the weight difference I think it could be as few as three
Recalling the videos of a single male lion pretty much ripping apart a pack of hyenas... Tigers are even bigger and stronger than lions, and wolves don't have anywhere near the bite force of a hyena. I think you'd need a lot more than three.
I think 5-7
Tigers (all predators) are weak to non-frontal attacks. Wolves attack in groups. The tiger would kill 2-3 frontally, but suffer damage and blood-loss at its flanks and hindquarters. Then it becomes a matter of finishing the job.
In any fight, circumstances are king. You need far, far more variables defined in order to be able to answer this question, and even then it won't be a certain outcome. Who has the element of surprise? What's the age, weight, and sex of the tiger (and the wolves)? How recently have the tiger/wolves eaten? Does anyone slip on a banana peel during the encounter?
Maybe we're going about this wrong. Are you trying to make sure the tiger is dead or are you trying to use as few wolves as possible?
Does anyone slip on a banana peel during the encounter?

Good specimens in my private coliseum
About 19 undecillion should be enough
In practice, none: wolves are locally extinct in the range of the Siberian tiger.
Maybe Siberian tigers are extinct in the range of the wolf?
Wikipedia has further details:
By any chance, are Siberian tigers responsible for that?
Evidently: in regions where humans have eliminated tigers, wolf populations have started to appear.
