So are these still the tri-metal the racing ones are made out of with ceramic coating?

Aluglide are not the tri metal bearings.

I thought cause of the layers in the diagram it was tri-metal but I see on extreme-psi that they have aluminum tin silicone

If you goto MAPerformances site, you can get any of the bearings they sell coated.

Engine Bearings - Engine Internals - Engine Components - DSM - Modern Automotive Performance

It's claimed that you can buff it down to the point where it won't alter clearances but I personally wouldn't use a coated bearing that can cause it to be out of round.
