Why would you use Tiger192 when SHA256 is available?  I imagine SHA256
is getting a lot more attention by people trying to break it than
Tiger192 is.

In any event, Tiger192 was removed from the OpenPGP standard (not
because it was thought weak, but because nobody really used it and
there were longer hashes available).
