Abstract: A chiral polytope with Schl"{a}fli symbol $p_1,ldots,p_{n-1}$ has at least $2p_{1}cdots{p}_{n-1}$ flags, and it is called emph{tight} if the number of flags meets this lower bound. The Schl"{a}fli symbols of tight chiral polyhedra were classified in an earlier paper, and another paper proved that there are no tight chiral $n$-polytopes with $ngeq6$. Here we prove that there are no tight chiral $5$-polytopes, describe 11 families of tight chiral $4$-polytopes, and show that every tight chiral $4$-polytope covers a polytope from one of those families.
