Additional info. Before we get to it.
Tigers are not really known for "working" together. You see guys, these things are not fictional characters where you can just randomly say "OH SHIT SPEED EQUALIZED" like no, you cannot do that. Coming from a guy who literally spent years arguing in animal vs debate forums, that's not how it works. We argue by putting up scientific studies that for example among many, measure muscle fiber types in animals which varies on function and strength. We analyze the behaviors of the animals fights, their hunts, the context of their activities.
Such as the myth that Male Lions are just lazy lazy cats, reality is that Nomad Male Lions do a lot of hunting, especially at night. Male Lions merely overheat in the sunny african day due to their heavy manes for once which is one of the reasons why they don't do a lot in the day. There's more to these animals than the stereotypes, but there are many accounts of Male Lions soloing Buffalos, head on. See? Unknown.
OT: Tigers do not ever work together to take something down. They're solitary animals, you cannot conceive how they could even pull off working together.
Also, carnivorous animals are not like movie monsters that just GROWRRLRRLRAGRRRR ROARRR and just looking for a fight. Large Carnivorous Mammals have a tendency to also avoid fights as injuries can lead to disease and infection and eventual handicaps and death other than territorial disputes. It doesn't always end in blood like that.
You should also understand that pretty much a majority of Lion, Tiger or Bear hunts of large mammals usually end in failure and have around 10-15% chance of success. Some say that Tigers have only 5% chance of success throughout out all their hunts.
For all you know, a fight might not even happen as the Tigers will probably be intimidated and be cautious of the Bear and vice versa.
The thing about Big Cats is that their stamina is very low when compared to Dogs and Bears. Think of that first before putting up numbers advantages.

Conclusion of the fight.
In a full on brawl (which is unrealistic), a single Siberian Tiger (which isn't even as strong as Bengal specimens) will get stomped by a Polar Bear (which, to some debatability, is not even as strong as a Brown Bear IIRC) it doesn't appear to me that two Tigers will able to thrash a Polar Bear as fighting a Polar Bear is beyond the experience and hunting and fighting behavior applicability of one Tiger for fighting a carnivorous animal much larger that literally attacks and swipes its massive arms from up above.
They might pull off a win by tiring the Polar Bear but they will get seriously injured and confused in a brawl.
My knowledge on these animals has gotten rusty since I left the animal forums, but if the Tigers win, it won't be easy.
The only way for either to win is death by forcing the other to sustain enough injuries for the other to walk away or eventually die.
Unless the Tigers pull off breaking the spinal neck of the Bear by biting or clamping onto the Polar Bear's throat and force it into suffocation, which is difficult to imagine considering the Polar Bear's strength in slugging against them.
I think the fight will end with them just retreating.
