technically all tyrants are chaotic evil.. dictators are also prone to chaotic evil but can be lawful or neutral evil.

a tyrant is a dictator who has gone completely insane and ruins their kingdom, tyrants are despised by their own people and usually have rather short rules as they are either usurped or die off in some manner.

dictators, on the other hand, are much more effective in what they do - they understand that to rule the world you have to play by certain rules and that if they go too far they will be kicked out.

tyrants think they can do whatever they wish and are chaotic, horrific "rulers" - dictators are much more aware of how to play the world domination game.
