Tiger tanks: 1,200+ King tiger tanks: 497
THE KING TIGER TANKS MAIN BATTLE WAS THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE
Only about 1,300 Tiger tanks were manufactured. In contrast the US built 88,000 Sherman tanks, and relied on vast numerical superiority to offset the tremendous qualitative edge enjoyed by the Tiger and Panther tanks of Germany.
yes they are possibly the most powerful tanks of all time
the tiger tank was one of the Germans most heavily armoured tanks
In a tank on tank encounter, I'd want to be in the Tiger.

As fare as I know there is only one Tiger 1 that is in operation today. I know there are 4 still under Restoration have no idea how any Tiger IIs are in in operation or under restoration.

German equipment were well engineered designs that usually had close tolderances. This means that any dirt or sand would cause problems with engines and mechanisms. For vehicles and tanks, this meant that it required a lot of work to keep the engines tuned just right and in working condition. Some of the larger tanks, such as the Tiger Tank, had low gas mileage. So fuel became a problem. Also, it was slower than other tanks so it slowed the movement of the unit.
The Tiger 1 tank has a crew of 5, I know this because of a book called Tanks inside out. (The Tiger 2 or King Tiger also has a crew of 5)
