Tires too old?

I went to the tire shop today to order new rubber as I return my car to stock so I can trade it in - I ordered a full set as I thought the old set was shot

When I pulled the OEM wheels out of the closet, I realized that the rears need replacing but the fronts actually have about 50% tread left, leaving me to wonder if I should keep the fronts knowing a dealership won't place too much value on the new tires. However, these have been sitting in my closet for 3+ years - I don't see any dry rot but is there anything else to be concerned about? Would you replace the fronts, especially given that it's only~300$? The tires I ordered are the same that came with the car, if it makes a difference: Contental DWS.
