I suspect OP doesn’t cycle every week, but is planning to very soon. That’s when this kind of maintenance check is particularly useful.
If you do cycle every week, you’ll notice pretty quickly if the tires are in need of some more pressure. In that case, there’s no need to plan ahead. You just go when you need to go. There’s no need to think about the tires every time.
I too need to clean and re-oil my chain.
I tried some grease last time and it seemed fine. Didn’t particularly feel any difference, except that it probably withstood the rain a little better.

Its true, I haven’t cycled for a while but will need to soon. Flat tires will have worse grip on the road, as far as I can recall anyway…
When it comes to cycling in winter, I prefer to stick with the usual pressure. Using studded tires is also recommended, but not completely mandatory.
To be clear, my tyres were flat, even for summer weather.
Was about time for (un)scheduled maintenance then.
