Magnetic oscillations of Dirac surface states of topological insulators are expected to be associated with the formation of Landau levels or the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We instead study the conductance of Dirac surface states subjected to an in-plane magnetic field in presence of a barrier potential. Strikingly, we find that, in the case of large barrier potentials, the surface states exhibit pronounced oscillations in the conductance when varying the magnetic field, in the \textit{absence} of Landau levels or the Aharonov-Bohm effect. These novel magnetic oscillations are attributed to the emergence of \textit{super-resonant regimes} by tuning the magnetic field, in which almost all propagating electrons cross the barrier with perfect transmission. In the case of small and moderate barrier potentials, we also identify a positive magnetoconductance which is due to the increase of the Fermi surface by tilting the surface Dirac cone. Moreover, we show that for weak magnetic fields, the conductance displays a shifted sinusoidal dependence on the field direction with period $π$ and phase shift determined by the tilting direction with respect to the field direction. Our predictions can be applied to many topological insulators, such as HgTe and Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$, and provide important insights into exploring and understanding exotic magnetotransport properties of topological surface states.
