Yes, just helped my friend change old ZE912 for Cdrive2. I think that today's ZE912s only win on price.

Not sure if this is relevant.
My own experience is that the ZE912 is very noisy after some thread wear. My rear tyres sounded like a sports exhaust when the speed goes up to around 80-90 km/h.
My friend's Honda Jazz did not seem to suffer from that. Even the new Cdrive 2's did not sound quieter than the old ZE912s. Mind you, those ZE912s have a 2007 manufacturing date - one of the first batches in this country. Maybe those are better quality.
