depends on the os of your pc and mac as latest version allow saves and opens to select relevant filetypes. but in my experience mac tif files have the extension of tiff. providing your pc os allows it i have always been successful in simply renaming the files . eg rename mac.tiff to mac.tif and its worked fine.

I use Mac-In-DOS from Pacific Micro at work to do that task. www.netusa.com/pacmicro

I have a piece of sortware from DataViz called Conversions Plus installed on my PC.
It automatically reads/writes data from/to my floppy drive (A:) that was created on a Mac.
It also will allow you to format a 3&1/2 inch floppy in Mac format, then load data to it just as if you were on a Mac. I've used it for 5 years and couldn't live without it. And, no, I'm not a salesman for them! It's just neat software. It will also read/write Mac data from a Zip drive and I think a CD as well.
