Can I use these on Shimano Tiagra or Claris shifters?

No — this hood is designed specifically for ST-R8000 and ST-R7000. Tiagra (R4700) and Claris (R2000) use different hood designs and require their respective OEM hoods.

Do I need to remove the handlebar tape to replace the hoods?

Yes — you need to unwrap at least the top section of bar tape to access the hood and clamp area. Plan to re-tape the handlebars after hood installation for a clean finish.
